So welcome to windrivers eparm

..

.. however I must point out that though we are 'agreeable' to many things, what you are asking for violates lots & lots of copyright laws .. we can't be sure you own the s/w ..

However there are many, many places on the net where they might not be so 'bothered' {I'm not but Windrivers is ! } .. so I can't put any links as to just 'exactly' where you might find it - however I personally think 'sharing sites' are very useful for such conundrums .. - a search on one of those will no doubt find a copy of your missing disk in a jiffy ..

Are you saying that a dos bootdisk is the same as 'setup disk 1' for dos 6.2 ? .. because I don't think it is, maybe it might have enough stuff on it to do what he wants (he never says), but the two are different ..

You may well be right, but it looks to be a moot point...the link for dos is dead at that site!

No nuisance whatsoever

.. however Windrivers has a 'responsibility' to make sure copyrighted material isn't distributed here, its hardly crime of the centuary to be 'stealing' (I use that word loosely

) what turns out to cost $4 !

But rules is rules & all that .. I hope you found the links other members suggested helpful.
